Whenever i have my kodiak wide-open, it kinda hiccups. Like, it will get going then it kinda lets off for a split second or something like that... hard to explain.
Anyone know why its doing this?

Has it always done this? Only since you snorkeled it? Sounds like the carb needs to be cleaned, but it may be jetted wrong if it's only been doing it since you added some mods.

no it just started. I may need to clean the carb out. Whenever i would go down a long hill and let the engine braking slow me down the whole way it would backfire real loud, is that a sign of improper jetting?
